Hi,

I have made a app page with tabs and now I am wondering how I can send users to a specific tab using Navigate() or something similar from another page.

This is the page in the app with tabs:

The tab is made like this, see picture below, and the MenuID is what is used to decide what is visible and not.

For the different items I have defined visibility like this:

So, if I am at a different page in the app, I want to be sent to for example the tab named View 3. Ideally I would prefer to be able to decide that the user would be sent to the tab named View 3 and selected gallery item = Lorem Ipsum 3.

Page 2 - click the button and go to Page with tabs (and have the selected tab being View 3)

Really appreciate the help! 😀

Surely Navigate('View 3') would be fine?

Thanks for helping me @RJM07! But unfortunately that doesn't work for me, and I believe it is because it is not a page and it is inside the tab gallery? Because I can easily navigate to the page with the Tab using Navigate(Tab) or Navigate('Page with tabs'), but then I come directly to "View 1" because that is the first tab.

Would it be possible with some sort of variable?

You can set Variables to be screen or tab names then when you navigate you can call that variable
So Set(VariableName,ScreenName)
Navigate(VariableName)

I know how to navigate to a specific screen @RJM07, but View 1-3 are all on the same screen/page, just different tabs . So, View 3 is a specific tab in a tab gallery on a screen. So, I am wondering how I can define that specific tab on that specific screen?

So the screen/page name is: 'Page with tabs'
The tab gallery is named: "Tab"
And the specific tab I want have the information: MenuLabel = 'View 3' and MenuID = 3
